All of these people had the option of going with a provider at a fixed rate, avoiding the possibility of a skyrocketing bill, they choose to gamble on a cheaper rate.
Do you really think the average citizen should be making a decision on whether to do high stakes gambling on power rates during natural disasters when they sign up for electricity?
I’m fine with ride share surge pricing and pay day loans and a bunch of stuff that materially fills a need but the cons of a $10k bill due to failure of a system in god knows what condition would be ridiculous to shrug shoulder at.

Should the average citizen be making the decision to gamble their paycheck in a casino when most have no concept of odds, and the house advantage,?

Yes. It's called personal choice. I'm sorry you can't grasp this basic concept.
